  1. Re:FBI searches on Operation Fastlink Nets 1000s in Pirate Sting · · Score: 1

    More than likely it was the FBI telling local authorities, we have this evidence against one of your citizens we want you to arrest him and we want to be there to watch over things. Its a neat little thing called cooperation...

  2. Lots of replies for Burt Rutan on NASA Considering Early Retirement of Shuttle Program · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Seeing that there are lots of replies about giving Burt Rutan 500 million or what ever and see what he can do...kinda silly. No disrespect to Mr.Rutan but he just did was NASA had done 50 years ago. Their sub-orbital flight went what 328KM? Sorry can't remember the exact figure. Some one care to look up the elevation of the orbit of ISS? I don't think even Burt Rutan can make that leap on $500 million....but I do have to admit it would be cool to watch him try. Anyways, I say let NASA do its thing. Atleast they are looking at all the options..

    Let the flaming begin.

  4. Re:memo to self on Mount St. Helens Alert Status Increased · · Score: 1

    Well then I hope you don't live anywhere Yellowstone National Park. I guess the entire park could be a buried volcano, with all the hot springs and guysers it makes sense... If it were to "erupt" massivly it would take out half the US. Good luck trying not to live next to that....oh and before the flaming...no i am not a vulcanologist nor did I ever claim to be. Just remember catching the tale end of a blub on discovery or something...thought it was kinda interesting.

  8. Re:Cool hack? Not in my book. on Turn your iPod into a Universal Remote · · Score: 1

    Yeah I tend to agree. It does have a neat concept to it, but definately more of a "some one has way to much free time" kinda thing...

  11. Re:You mean *half* the physics of baseball on The Physics of Baseball · · Score: 1

    I agree...sort of. When a pitcher is on his game he is basically controlling the hits to be grounders/flyballs..etc. Those plays are routine and should be made...even by the local high school team. Also remember a perfect game is no walks, or hits. The pitcher deserves all the credit they get...to maintain that level of control while throwing balls upwards of 100MPH over 100 times in a game is...well I can't think of a better phrase than amazing.

  12. Re:Are you serious? on Google to be Sued Over Name? · · Score: 1

    And the word wasn't really invented by Kastner. When he showed the number to his young(7 or 8 yearold) niece/nephew(can't recall), the kid made up the word "googol" off the top of his head. So wouldn't it be that kids right to sue? Even though, how can you justify suing inspiration?

  13. Re:Voltage issue... on Rescuers Prep for Hybrid Car Accidents · · Score: 1

    I am from a farm, and I regularly come into contact with our electric fence, which runs at 10,000 volts.

    I just hope, for your sake, you never made the mistake of being talked into peeing on said fence....

  14. Re:Prefix, not suffix, you dumbasses on .mail Domain To Eliminate Spam? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ummm mail.mycompany.com wouldn't necessarily be the name of a subdomain...it, most of the time, would be be the host itself in the mycompany.com domain. Using a .mail tld could work, but the rules for getting one and making sure records are kept up would have to be strict to say the least. There shouldn't be any confusion on the email address for each domain, they still would be him@hiscompany.com. The only thing that needs to change it the MX record for hiscompany.com which would be host.hiscompany.mail. Think of the .mail TLD more of a ICANN run DNS Blackhole, except the servers there are ones you can accept from, not deny....anything else would get denied. In most of the MTA's(sendmail, exim, and other spam filtering tools) they have the ability to check outside servers(relays.ordb.org for ex) if they are open-relays or not. Its the mail admins choice to use these. I don't think it would be hard to use the .mail the same way and implement a whitelist of people not in the .mail TLD, but that is their choice and would have to be maintained like the whitelists now. Oh well....let the flaming begin.... joey
